MM - a slurpee is a slush puppy, you know, like a frozen coke without the fizz. I bet you are getting so excited now about the big day - you're far enough along to really see it all coming together now! :)
Katie, well done for saving us from sliding off the page. By the sounds of it, everyone's off sitting in their clam shell wading pools LOL. I'm not - too many meters of scorching hot air between the back door and the start of the clam shell coolness LOL. I've got a date with a swimming pool tonight tho...can't wait!
Well I finally got to speak to my mate ED yesterday (aka Dr Junior Lovely Surgeon) and I'm booked in for my operation, finally, but wait til you hear when....
....FRIDAY THE 13TH!!! :o That's not maximum auspiciousness now, is it, ED????? :p
OK, well I'd better go, DH has just moved our portable aircon to the study so I have NO EXCUSE not to go in there and sift thru all my STUFF today. We've got DD1 lined up for toddler-entertaining duties too LOL. I knew that large age gap would come in handy one day LOL.
hi girls!
thanks oz for seeing us slip under!
well....we got RED slurpee last night YAY YAY YAY! the poor man had to have 2 going at once to keep up supply. and i must say that he looked pretty smug when we went in there! LOL!
MD: oooohhh wooooo friday the 13th huh? wooooooooo. i dont really imagine you seeing too many step ladders or black cats in the OR though.
MM: oooh M's bouquet is gunna be gorgeous!! how exciting! we also did one for our little flower girl (there was nooo way i was going to pay for a big fancy florist one!). and it looked so pretty. thank you spotlight LOL!
AFM: well i am in a slight dilemma. meant to be inspecting a house but miss L is fast asleep. do i wake her or leave her be? she only does one sleep a day...arrghhhhh! couldnt she of waited like 30 minutes?!?!!! LOL!
ROFL MD! WTG on calming her nerves, Mister Surgery-date-booking-guy. If you think of it this way, if you were in America on that day, it would only be the 12th ;)
Oh no nearly off the page again.
I hope everyone is ok, especially those suffering in the heat.
MD good luck with the OP might be a weird date but at least you have the date now!
I am buggered so night night all.
Katie your the Thread Saver - I'll have to sew you a cape LOL.
Trill, yep and if I was in Spain I'd have to make sure I didn't get married or take a trip on Tues the 13th LOL. I don't really mind because it will be Dr HH surgeon doing it, he's really good (he's who I would've gone to privately if I could've afforded it) plus I'll have Dr Junior Lovely Surgeon attending to me afterwards (*blushes*).
Clare, I'm PMSL that the quikimart dude had to get both tanks going on RED. Is that cos you went up there and dripped on him in your bikini? LOL BTW now I'm dying of curiosity. Did you go to the inspection? Did you find a house???
Hi girls!
well it HAS been mighty quiet in here....especially from rainy.
MD: no unfortunately i didnt go dripping in my bikini...but i did take the dog and being as big as she is maybe, just maybe i looked kinda scary...doubt it, stella is the lick monster 2000.
and yeah, went and saw the house...what a joke! the 'bathroom' was at the back of the house separated by a shower curtain wall...yes, i did type that correctly. and it consisted of a bath tub and a toilet. oh, and the laundry was in there as well. so for 2 bedrooms and a non bathroom/laundry they want $600k+. i walked out laughing.
we have seen a really nice place in brunswick though...so might have to take a dabble at the auction...
AFM: well things here have cooled immensely. so i can think again which is nice. we are in need of a new hose and some of the plants may be burnt beyond recognition, but that is ok. and we managed to thus far avoid blackouts.
Leila is all sugarness and light but has had for the last 2 nights brief wakeups. i have been giving her water as the heat i think was the main factor and bingo. she drank a whole sippy cup both times.
hope everyone is great (oh, and so think the cape idea is awesome. i want one so i guess i will have to search for a superpower....hmmmm) LOL!
Hi everyone, hope you are all surviving the heat wave. I guess I should stop complaining when it hits 25 degrees here lol
Ozstar, how is the 2WW going? When do you test?
Clare, glad you finally got your red slurpee lol
MD, yay for a date for your op. Don't worry about Friday the 13th - people are more aware of 'bad luck' on that day so are actually more careful than usual
MM, glad your sisters found some nice bridesmaid dresses. Not long to go now!
Rainy, how are you feeling today? I am happy that you have a nice air con unit now.
Ange, I have found W suspiciously quiet eating lollies behind the chair before, he was very happy with himself lol
W is getting more and more words, he parrots back a couple of new things every day. I guess his word count would be around 50 now, he is always blabbing on about something lol. Yesterday mum told one of the dogs 'down', now he keeps saying 'down woof'.
Do you think it is very likely for morning sickness to start after 9 weeks? I have had a few days of feeling really average but nothing like last time, I am starting to think I might be in the clear! I am not even that tired! I am having a lot of trouble finding anything I want to eat, but that is about it.
As for our nights..... it's working!! I kept up with offering the bottle and now he is not waking until around 4am! Last night he slept from 9pm-5am, he stirred a couple of times but I just shushed him back to sleep. That is 8 hours! Two weeks ago I had no hope of getting to this stage, I am so happy with how it is going.
ETA, Clare, an auction will be so exciting! What is the house market like there now? Have sellers dropped prices much? It is a great time to buy with the interest rate so low!
MD I would like pink and yellow sequins on my cape please ;)
L is calling will be back for more later lovelies
When was the last time it was this quiet in here????
Hopefully those in Vic have just lot power and cant log on.
Clare you come up with a superpower yet???? LOL
Arte I tested on Monday. Your little W is sooooo clever, I have no idea how many words L has but its nowhere near W. L babbles loads though. Woo hooo on missing out on the MS, do you think it could be a pink bundle??? Are you going to find out?
We are off to the park for a play. Have been cleaning up all morning so time to relax.
Oz: nup, no superpower just yet...unless you call couch surfing a superpower...hmmm fat chance!
yeah where is everyone? it seems when i dont log on it's action stations and then when i am its ghosty hollows. um, hmmm, maybe i smell! LOL!
we were threatened with blackouts last night as the fires approached the main elec station. but we are all good here. but maybe for rainy it ain't so wonderful. that side of town seems to have gotten hit worse by the looks.
I've been out most of the day and the rest of the time it's been too hot to sit here. But I am alive LOL
Clare - Good luck with the auction. House prices are so high arent they! Mind you now is the time to buy, as they say. As for night time wake ups, we've had them the past two nights & I am blaming the heat as well. I could barely sleep myself let alone expect M to sleep. Listen to me, the weather we are experiencing over here is nothing to what you guys are getting over there lol!
Arte - So glad the night time wake ups are improving for you, you must feel like a new woman in the morning when you wake!
In law vent coming on (sorry girls so many lately)!!! Why do people insist on giving your child sugar & complete & utter junk food!? I've had the in laws here today & they have been feeding M chips, choccy biccies, friggen hard nougart of all things (uhhh choking hazard or what, I wasnt at all embarrassed to whip it straight out of her mouth!!) & lemonade all day, even after me asking them not to!? Gahhhhh drives me insane. This is our child, maybe we parent differently to what they did, but surely they can respect my wishes as M's MOTHER!?! I mean my own parents do, they never even think of offering M such foods. She doesnt need it, doesnt know any better. Of course I am not completely paranoid & do give her treats, but all in moderation, I certainly dont stock her up on junk all day long anyway. So needless to say its 8.30pm & M is soooo tired but just boucing off the walls, I have to work tomorrow thank you very much in laws.
oh MM that just sux! kinda like my grandparents trying to tell me that milo doesnt contain sugar and we need to give it to her to stop bandy legs...
hello hello
sorry i have read everything bu thave such preg head at the moment everything goes in one ear and out the other... i am uppingth fish oil intake so my brain may be back soon LOL! had a great weekend away, first nigth a bit of a disaster as we were staying in an awfulplace that was so hot and unsuitable for babies/toddlers but we moved the next day and it was wonderful. the bub we were with is sooooooo adorable DH and i got v excited about our little bundle. Ngot rather jealous so we better think of ways to help him with that LOL!
MD YAY on a date for the op... and to having the HH dr to do it. i am glad H settled well into school and you love her teacher, that must be a big load off your mind. when do you start uni? have you got FDC or something for Miss E?
Clare - glad the slurpee situation got sorted, sounded like desperate times LOL! how are things with DH?
Arte - woo hoo on feeling good. i reckon you have escaped the ms though you never can be sure... are you havinga scan at 12 wks? sounds like you have sucha clever clogs there... N is also so verbal and i love it.
Katie - did you meet the other M/wife?
MM - grrrrrrrrrr at the inlaws... oh that would bug me. i hope M slept eventually.... i thik it is hard for them to see their kids as parnets sometimes - though that is no excuse really! how is M going at creche? how many days are you working and how are you finding it? woo hoo on the bmaid dresses - not long to go now!
Rainy - where are you?? hope you are ok in the heat...
Since Ange also isnt on i am thinking you 2 have lost power??? oh i hope not... that would be too mean to our heavily preg buddies!
hi to everyone else - better go do some work. will be back on later xxx
Hi lovelies, still here, had a big weekend though. Wedding last night as well as a couple of bbq's over the weekend. I'm exhausted and my cankles are about to engulf my feet, but just popping in to say i'm alive. Having a couch day today i think........
Oh Ange - elevate those cankles!
Hope Rainy is OK too.
MD - yay for getting a date. Wow, next week - how long after the op until you are able to indulge in Haigh's?
MM - hope Maddie calmed down last night and you got some sleep. That is excessive sugar, one treat maybe, but not all of that!!
PP - glad your weekend away turned out OK. Hope those fish oil tablets work!
Clare - yay for red!! Poor plants getting burnt, they really would have had no hope would they?
Arte - wow, so many words!! We're still waiting here, although DH thinks he heard a few ta's on the weekend. Massive WOOHOO to the 8 hours sleep!!! Awesome work W!!
AFM - well K was bitten twice last week by some little kid at childcare. The second time he was in the cot in isolation because the carers were busy doing sunscreen and nappy changes and couldn't watch him. K took him a toy and he pulled her arm in and bit it!! Poor carers, they are trying everything they can but he doesn't seem to be getting the message. Anyway, K bit me on the weekend (hadn't done it for ages), so I made a very big deal about how sad it made mummy, just like when Tyler bit her. Hope the message sunk in.
And DH knocked his thumb at cricket. Doesn't think it's broken again, but it's swelled up big time! We also took K down the beach a couple of times, she just loved it. Straight into the water, wasn't at all worried by the waves.
tip for anyone struggling to think of entertaining bubs - I had K's mattress out because she wet it, but after I had cleaned it up and dried it, she spent more than an hour playing on it on the floor. Bouncing and rolling and putting bears to sleep etc. So cute!
hi girls
i'm still alive! just popping on really quickly to let you all know i'm ok
am dying to have a nap with lewis but i can't cos there's a fire in my street and i can't go to bed until it's safe. there's 3 firetrucks there now.
might have to leave soon, will wait and see what happens in next hour.
hope everyone has survived heatwave, i have found it absolutely brutal being this pg
